Litzell -5- Board of Selectmen State of the Town A great place to live with salubrious atmosphere draws many to the Town of Moultonborough. The serene coves, sparkling waters and scenic mountain vistas attract the passerby and soon a dream of living in an area of this type becomes a reality. Let us not forget what draws those to the area. This is our heritage and the making of what provides Moultonborough with its unique charm. With increasing population one is required by necessity to provide add- ed services from which we can not escape. The fire department has increased calls, the Police department must maintain a more constant watch, highways receive heavier volume and weight requiring more maintenance. We must strive to bring interesting and productive activities to our young, who are our future, and to those who enjoy the exercise that is gained through recreation. Fire Department - The volunteer fire department is a highly trained group that are thoroughly dedicated to the safety of all property. These individuals devote many hours of their lives training so we can all be assured of the best possible protection and expertise should the occasion ever arise. We are all proud of the devotion to duty that they possess. We have good reason to be proud of the equipment that we have provided for them. The Dane family has been most generous in leasing the Summit of Red Hill and the firetower to the Town for use by us and the Fire Department for the Forest Fire watch. We man the tower for thirty (30) weeks during the summer season. Not only is this security but also gives hikers an opportunity to learn of the area. Police Department - Chief Woodman and the members, full time officers and specials have the task of correcting the mistakes that others make. We can see the future need of additional personnel and equipment so as to make the department more visable. It is through the visibility of this department that crimes are deterred. Let us hope that the increase will not arrive too soon, although we must be realistic in our thinking. Highway Department - Good roads and safe passage is what we all hope for as we travel about town. Progress has been made on the improving of our roadways. We have been working on a program of shimming and sealing as time and funds will allow. As all can understand, if we do not maintain that which we have time and use will cause its deterioration and the redoing will be more costly than if we had maintained the original. The Selectmen in conjunction with the Highway Agent examine the town roads and with in- -6- put from others determine which roads are in the realm of improvement. Many factors determine the choices. Condition, use, safety and available funds are only a few of the factors considered. The bridges in town are also looked at in this manner. The inspection reports from the State of New Hampshire Department of Transportation are most beneficial in alerting us of trouble areas. Recreation Department - The use of the playground is increasing rapid- ly. Plans are being formulated to utilize the area around the recreation building and areas to provide parking for vehicles so as to minimize traffic through the playing area. We cannot stress safety too strongly. We all desire to have a safe area for sport and recreation activities. The formulation of i trail committee at last year's Town Meeting will widen the possibilities of a more all around program for other than school age participants. It would be beneficial to have activities for the not so young in the community. Library - Much activity is associated with the reading needs of the peo- ple. The library trustees have added a handicap access ramp so all patrons can have the enjoyment of what our library provides. A need for added stack room is not too distant. The location is a cause of much concern as space is limited. The volunteer committees do a great favor in assisting the governing boards to gather and assert the needs of the Town. Planning Board - Through their careful analysis of sub-division plans presented we are protecting the area and helping keep it pleasant for the future. Many hours are spent doing on site inspections and analyzing the details presented at the public hearings that result in the final decision of the board. Our Master Plan is at the point of needing updating which will add to the hours spent. Zoning Board of Adjustment - The unique type of zoning adopted by the Town, known as performance zoning, requires that any activity other than residential or agricultural requires a special exception or variance from the zoning board. This allows us to intermingle activities throughout the town. Conservation Commission - Keeping a watchful eye on the activities in wet lands and reporting to the New Hampshire Wetlands Board on applica- tions that are filed prevents problems that could easily become overlooked at the State level. Local residents have a closer feeling of the area and think- ing along the needs that we will encounter is most beneficial to other agen- cies that require this information. -7- Visiting Nurse - The Board of Directors examines and evaluates the medical needs that are brought to their attention through various agencies, hospitals and doctors. This is an area with increasing demands as patients are being encouraged and/or required to leave medical facilities much sooner than was the case a few years ago. Our Visiting Nurses need permission to treat more sophisticated nursing needs and many cases require a more ex- tended period of time. We are most fortunate to have this service and its dedicated personnel allowing families to remain together and in their own homes as much as possible. Health Officer - The Selectmen have turned the duties of health officer over to Diana W. Morgan. It was our feeling that with the adoption of RSA 149 :E, the town's authority to inspect proposed and replacement of septic systems a person was needed to detail this work. Diana has a BA in Biology, MS in hydrology giving her the knowledge necessary to inspect the plans sub- mitted and most capable in dealing with the duties of health officer. This ap- pointment, recommended by the Selectmen, was made by New Hampshire Department of Health and Human Services. It is anticipated that the depart- ment will be self supporting.

  • Fire in the White Mountains 61
    The original table with metric values and the original color figures have been appended to the end of this document. Correction: An error was introduced into the text at some point during production. The bottom of p. 69 states “May 1903 was extremely dry; with less than two inches of precipitation, it is the driest May and third driest month ever recorded (1893-1997) at Bethlehem, New Hampshire.” The correct precipitation for May 1903 is 0.75 cm (0.3 inches). W g E o Fire W b in the e c White Mountains m g p A Historical Perspective a Christine L. Goodale he White Mountain National Forest (WMNF) owes its existence, Tin part, to its fiery history. In the late 1800s and early 1900s, debris from unprecedented logging fueled fires across the region. This disrup- tion inflamed public ire, and concern over the potential loss of these beloved forests—and, influentially, concern by downstream manufac- turers that deforestation would dry up their river power—eventually brought about the Weeks Act in 1911. The Weeks Act authorized the federal purchase of forestland and established the WMNF. The public outrage at logging-era fires contrasts with public appreciation of the scenic side effects of some fires long past: enhanced views of and from such peaks as Chocorua, Crawford, Moat, Welch, Hale, the Sugarloaves, and the Baldfaces. On these and other mountains, forest fires cleared the low summits of view- blocking trees, and subsequent erosion washed away much of the soil that might have supported regrowth. Elsewhere, picturesque stands of paper birch owe their origin to fires from a century ago.

  • Mirror Lake Hosts a Private Seaplane Base in Tuftonboro
    Vol XXII, No. 4 A Quarterly Newsletter Published by the Tuftonboro Association Fall, 2020 Mirror Lake hosts a private seaplane base in Tuftonboro If you live on Mirror Lake you have undoubtedly seen the lovely red and white 1956 Cessna 180 amphibious float, also known as a seaplane, take off and land. T.R. Wood, a Kingswood High School graduate and his family moved to the Tuftonboro side of Mirror Lake years ago seeking a slower pace after decades on Lake Winnipesaukee. T.R. is a third-generation pilot and his near-teenage son is well on his way to becoming the fourth generation in the air. T.R. is quite proud that his son already exhibits some of the skills of older, more experienced pilots. The family has a long history with planes starting with T.R.’s grandfather who flew Consolidated PBY Catalinas during WW II as he patrolled the Atlantic and Caribbean searching for submarines. His pilot skills were also in use throughout the Korean War. Both T.R. and his father, Tom Wood, have been commercial pilots. The history of flight in popular literature began with the Wright brothers’ famous exploit on December 17, 1903 four miles south of Kitty Hawk, North Carolina. Seven years later Henri Fabre piloted the first seaplane in Marseilles, France. By 1911, Glenn Curtiss, the founder of the U.S. aircraft industry, had developed the Curtiss Model D. His Model H series T.R. Wood’s fiance Alison, along with their dog Champ, are perched on the pontoon was heavily used by the British Royal Navy during of T.R.’s 1956 Cessna, which in other seasons may wear wheels or wheels with skiis.

  • Mike Ware Ridge Trail
    Trail Name: Ridge Trail Gilford NH Trail Description: Mike Ware Ridge Trail – Description This white-blazed trail, a segment of Belknap Range Trail, runs from the main parking lot at Gunstock Mountain Resort to the summit of Mt. Rowe, then continues along the ridge to the summit of Gunstock Mtn. A major relocation in 2013 moved the upper part of the trail off the Gunstock ski slopes and into the woods. The Ridge Trail (blazed white) starts 100 yards north of the Gunstock main lodge, just to the right of the Adaptive Ski Center. It runs up an access road for 0.25 mi., turns left, (marked by a white arrow and cell phone tower sign), and joins the old Try-Me Ski Trail. It takes a turn to the right at 0.3 mi., marked by another white arrow. The trail ascends steeply to reach the communications tower at 0.8 mi. Here the trail traverses the summit of Mount Rowe (elev. 1,690 ft.) and its ridge, with great views of Gunstock Ski Area and Lake Winnipesaukee. There is an Earth Scope Plate Boundary Observation/GPS Station at the top of this ridge, run by UNAVCO, NASA and NSF. The Ridge Trail continues on the rocky ridge from this point and at 1.2 mi. descends straight (marked with a white-blazed post). On the right, the Mt. Rowe Trail (blazed blue) descends to the Gilford Elementary School in Gilford Village. In 20 yds. down the Mt. Rowe Trail, the North Spur Trail (blazed orange) leaves left to traverse across the ridge to a junction with the Benjamin Weeks Trail (blazed purple).

  • Chapter 3 Tuftonboro’S Resources: Natural, Hıstorıc and Scenıc
    chapter 3 tuftonboro’s resources: natural, hıstorıc and scenıc Tuftonboro's rural scenic beauty and quiet lifestyle appeal to both residents and visitors. According to results of the 2005 Community Attitude Survey, people are concerned about losing these features. More specifically, loss of rural character was deemed one of the three most important issues facing the town in the next decade. Rural character is the combination of many elements including the natural and cultural environment, economic opportunity and civic life. This chapter describes the town’s natural setting, and the natural, historic and scenic resources. 3.1 natural settıng Tuftonboro offers a diversity of landscape features from the Ossipee Mountain range to the rolling terrain near Lower Beech Pond to the wetlands of the Great Meadow to islands in Lake Winnipesaukee.
